Boutique Cycling Glasses in Ribbed Jersey with Covered Buttons
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a boutique cycling glasses around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Denmark and needed boutique finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- The cycling glasses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
